My girl had her first dance recital in six years over the weekend and, quite frankly, she ROCKED IT, y'all. She was a dancing queen when she was younger but then developed a love for gymnastics and tumbling. Well, after suffering a broken elbow that required 14 months of rehab, she decided not a change is hobbies was needed.
Smart girl, huh? :-)
She did a fantastic job and we were all really impressed that she picked up so well after a long hiatus.
She also looked beautiful, in my opinion, though it became apparent quickly that an 11-year-old does not exactly have an appreciation for a smokey eye....
She decided to do tap and jazz this year but, by the time the recital was over, she had determined next year will include all three types of dance so looks like we'll be picking up ballet shoes soon :-)
Nana and Boppy gave her these absolutely beautiful hot pink roses after the performance...
...and then we headed to La Fiesta for some after dancing grub...
Their jazz number was to "America" from "West Side Story" while the tap song was "The Chattanooga Choo Choo."
I had her put the second costume on again last night so I could snap some pics. They wore black leather newsboy style hats during the performance and they were adorable!
Absolutely loved the studio this year. Loved the costumes. Love the girl. Basically, an all around success!
And now summer can truly begin - woo hoo!
Happy Monday, y'all :-)
